Review:
The story is very odd actually, at first but at the same things it is very curious, the thing is it was confusing because of the settings, the timelines that popping out every time and the era. It is a great job for the Author because I, as a reader, understands it well even though I'm not a typical sci-fi nerd.
This story has its unique style, I love the characters inside. Claudio and Elisa has their own connection within each other and the readers would really knew what it is (well as for now I won't tell you guys haha read and explore for yourself). I don't know why but I don't want to end their story, I was on 63% and it felt like I need more.
This is worth giving a round of applause for a great work of art and I love how it blends on the timeline that has been featured. I don't want to spoil anyone but I did cry in this story and I am thankful for that. I've learned more than I expected.

"Their love transcends time, space, and conflict."
Alice Ferro did not travel 500 years into the past to save her soulmate from persecution only to discover her journey had been in vain! Forced to return from 1512 Italy to 2029 Canada without him, she cannot focus on family, school, or friends as thoughts of Claudio constantly flood her mind. When she discovers her love’s future is dire, Alice decides she must return to the past to save him once and for all.
With some help, a bit of deceit, and a lot of determination, Alice sets off to rescue Claudio. Unfortunately, she hadn’t planned on things going so terribly wrong, and she soon finds her own life in peril. Written with charm and intelligence, the sequel to Alice of the Rocks encompasses everything you could want in a young adult, time-travel romance. Adventure, true love, intrigue, and dynamic characters fill the pages alongside the elegant landscape of Renaissance Italy.

Review:
Warning this part has a little bit of a detail about the first book
if you don't want to be spoiled then you may EXIT.
In the end of book one I've been expecting something more, but I am not fan when it comes in Alice's timeline. I keep on reading it even though I can't even understand what it is haha but yeah its pretty boring their honestly(I'm sorry about this but I want to be honest with this.).
Part of me want's to stop reading and continue watching anime series but I am pretty curious about what will happen to Claudio. Then the turning point that I've been waiting for had come and I can't stop myself on reading it continuously. Its 1512 when I am really rally excited and happy.
Their love is really unconditional isn't it? I want them to be happy with each other but the fact that I love the first book more than this, but I'm really satisfied of the outcome of the story and this may marked my heart, the lesson it gives, and the unconditional love portrayed with Claudio and Alice.
Whatever your timeline maybe, but if Love
comes on your way through you can't hide.
